Additional Tips

  • If you find the flavor of mustard oil too pungent, try heating it until it reaches its smoking point before cooking; this mellows the sharpness and adds a deeper flavor to the dish.
  • For an extra tangy kick, add a splash of tamarind pulp or a few drops of lemon juice along with the tomatoes—this complements the drumstick flowers and enhances the dish’s tangy profile.
  • To retain the vibrant green color and delicate texture of drumstick flowers and zucchini, add them toward the end of cooking and simmer just until tender.
  • If fresh drumstick flowers are unavailable, you can substitute with tender drumstick leaves or try a blend of edible flowers like pumpkin blossoms for a unique variation.
